Singara Chennai!

Dear readers,

Today i had a discussion about the city called "Chennai".

I really found some interesting fact about my own city.

The city was actually "Chennaipattinam".

Which is named after Darmerla Chennappa Nayakkar who was almost like a ruler of the region.

Later when the Brotish ruled India, they called people of this region as 'Mad Rascals' & that is how the name changed from 'Chennaipattinam' to 'Madras'.

It usually was called as "Madraspattinam".

Later it was renamed to "Chennai" by the Govt of Tamil Nadu in 1996.

Here are some pictures of old Chennai (Old Madras).

This is a view of Parry's Corner.

It is named so after a king "Paari" who ruled a portion of that area.

Other assumptions state that the place is named after a company called "E.I.D.Parry" which is located there.

Since it is my own city I wanted to publish this. :)
